Discover the Benefits of Engineered Wood Flooring
Engineered wood flooring is a remarkable innovation, designed to deliver the luxurious appearance of solid wood without its inherent limitations. Here’s why it’s an increasingly popular choice for homeowners:
- Exceptional Stability: Unlike solid wood, which can warp or cup with changes in temperature and humidity, engineered flooring is constructed from multiple layers. A top layer of real hardwood (the wear layer) is bonded to a core of high-quality plywood or HDF. This cross-layered structure counteracts the natural movement of the wood, making it significantly more stable and suitable for use in variable environments like kitchens, basements, and conservatories.
- Versatility in Installation: Its stability allows engineered flooring to be installed in ways solid wood cannot. It can be laid as a floating floor, glued directly to the subfloor, or nailed down. This flexibility makes it compatible with most subfloor types, including concrete.
- Underfloor Heating Compatibility: Love the comfort of underfloor heating? Most engineered wood flooring is specifically designed to be used safely and efficiently over UFH systems, distributing heat evenly without risking damage to the boards.
- Aesthetic Appeal: With a top layer of genuine hardwood, engineered flooring is indistinguishable from solid wood once installed. It is available in a vast range of species (Oak, Walnut, Ash), finishes (oiled, lacquered, brushed, distressed), and plank sizes, allowing for complete design freedom.
- Cost-Effective & Sustainable: Engineered flooring often provides a more budget-friendly alternative to solid wood, particularly for exotic species. Furthermore, it makes more efficient use of the slow-growing hardwood, as only the top layer is made from it, making it an environmentally conscious choice.
Types of Engineered Flooring Products
Our Supply & Fit service gives you access to an extensive selection of engineered wood flooring options. Key variations include:
- 14/15 mm Planks: These type of planks are most popular, in large variety of widths in either click or tongue-and-groove connection and usually with 3 mm top layer, rarely in 4 mm or less than 2 mm. This type of flooring can be sanded and refinished once.
- 18 mm Planks: These type of planks will usually come in widths of 150 mm with 4 mm or 5 mm top layer, which can be sanded respectively twice or even three times.
- 20 mm Planks: These type of planks will usually come in widths of over 180 mm with 4 mm - 6 mm top layer, which can be sanded respectively a number of times, and can provide a life span of 25 years.
- Finish: All engineered flooring products are available in matt-lacquered or standard satin lacquered plank, or brushed & oiled finish and various colours.
Click system planks are very sensitive to subfloor level.
Floorworks™ Installation Process: A Mark of Quality
Our meticulous installation process ensures a perfect, long-lasting result every time.
Subfloor Preparation: This is the most critical step. We ensure your subfloor is clean, dry, and perfectly level. We will undertake any necessary work, such as screeding, grinding, or laying plywood, to create the ideal foundation.
Acclimatisation: The engineered wood planks are left in the room of installation for a set period to acclimate to the ambient temperature and humidity, preventing expansion or contraction issues post-installation.
Installation: Depending on the product and subfloor, we employ the best-suited method:
Floating Installation: The boards are clicked or glued together over a high-quality underlay, ideal for noise reduction and insulation.
Glue-Down Installation: A full-bond adhesive is used to fix the planks directly to the subfloor, providing a very solid and stable feel underfoot.
Nail-Down Installation: Planks are secretly nailed or stapled to a wooden subfloor for a traditional and secure fit.
Finishing Touches: We complete the installation by fitting skirting boards, beadings, thresholds, and door bars for a clean, professional transition between rooms.
